IMPLEMENTATION
cellulose insulation
Igloo France cellulose wadding is available in bulk for blowing, insuffling, or wet spraying. We regularly offer training courses for professionals on blowing bulk insulation into attic spaces. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
BLOWING IN INSULATION INTO LOFT SPACES
This is the most common use of cellulose insulation. Blowing insulation into attic spaces is effective for homeowners and cost-effective for professionals.
Igloo France cellulose insulation is particularly suitable for blowing into unused attic spaces. This form allows it to fill even the smallest gaps and prevent thermal bridges.
This installation requires the attic to be prepared: checking the substrate, installing rigid stops around the flues and access hatch, locating electrical devices, checking the old insulation, installing protective covers on recessed spotlights, checking the thickness of cellulose insulation , etc.
Blowing insulation into attic spaces is governed by NF DTU 45.11, which recognizes this technique as traditional and sets out all the rules that must be followed to ensure that the insulation is compliant and durable.
Insulating unused attic space with cellulose insulation can reduce energy loss by around 30% in a standard home during renovation work.
In RE2020 construction, blowing bio-based insulation such as cellulose insulation into attics cellulose insulation immediate comfort in both winter and summer, while also storing biogenic carbon.
BLOWING INTO WALLS, CRAPES AND FLOORS
cellulose insulation France cellulose insulation can also be applied to walls, crawl spaces, and floors using the blow-in technique.
This implementation is becoming increasingly widespread, particularly with RE2020 wood frame construction (MOB).
Blown-in installation involves injecting dry cellulose insulation a cavity under pressure through a hose connected to a carding and blowing machine.
It is used for masonry or poured concrete walls, and wood-frame house walls.
There are many advantages to using blown insulation. It allows for thermal insulation on the inside of vertical walls, regardless of their spacing and thickness. This optimizes inventory and supply management. Blow-in insulation can also be installed in advance, in the workshop, by wood frame construction professionals. cellulose insulation be blown into the walls, which are then delivered to the construction site already insulated. No cutting is necessary, and cellulose insulation adapts to all wall shapes and thicknesses.
It is important to adhere to the specified density ranges to ensure that the insulation performs well. The desired density is achieved by adjusting the blowing machine to the flow rate of the cellulose insulation the power of the turbines. The density of the cellulose insulation can be checked using a coring system.
WET PROJECTION IN WALLS
When the substrate is uneven, cellulose insulation be sprayed wet.
The technique involves applying cellulose insulation with a small amount of water under pressure using a pneumatic machine. A smoothing roller brush is used to level off any excess thickness of cellulose insulation between the studs during wet spraying.
Moistening cellulose insulation the natural binder in the fibers, thereby cellulose insulation the cohesion of the insulating product. This is achieved by spraying a mist of water generated at the outlet of the material transport pipe by a spray head equipped with several spray nozzles. The water is fed to the spray head via a pipe connected to a high-pressure pump.
The combined settings of the machine and water spray ensure uniform humidification of the product.
Wet spray cellulose insulation an extremely versatile technique because it allows the insulation to be applied regardless of the specific characteristics of the substrate. It also provides additional acoustic insulation, which is beneficial for multi-unit buildings.
This technique for installing cellulose insulation complex and requires extensive theoretical and practical training.That is why few companies offer this service.
